Event has already happened.

A tour of Seattle neighborhoods through the eyes of local, architectural award winning, fire stations - seven in all. We will meet at the Magnuson Park parking lot below CBC offices (close to Tennis Center) and head out for Leschi, Mt Baker, downtown Seattle, Fremont, Ballard, Phinney Ridge, the U District, Laurelhurst and back. We will stay together and regroup as necessary. Be prepared for urban riding on trails and dedicated bike lanes. Call ride leader if the weather is questionable.

What Pace Means

Pace classification indicates the intended range of speeds on level ground without breaks. This means downhill sections of the ride may be faster, and uphill sections slower.

Note: For rides with a “hilly” terrain classification, consider choosing a pace one step down from your usual comfort level.
Terrain
Some Hills

What Terrain Means

Terrain indicates the most common or average terrain type of the ride and should be considered relative to the length and overall difficulty of the ride. For example, a long-distance ride with a lot of elevation gain will be overall less challenging than a short ride with equal elevation gain. Consider the pace and frequency of regroup as well to understand how advanced a ride may be.

  • Mostly flat: Trails and/or mostly flat roads with a possible gentle uphill
  • Rolling: Climbs are short and easy, not too numerous
  • Some hills: A few short, steep hills, some moderate upgrades and/or longer gentle climbs
  • Hilly: Consistent or continuous climbing
  • Off-road: Significant unpaved sections
